I see what you mean but… think of a conventional security issue around an AI like you would a chemical spill. Even though the failure may have been something boring like a bad seal, we could still call it a “hazardous chemical incident” or such.

Right, but if they accidentally drop a bookshelf on a guy working at the hazardous chemical plant, that's not a hazardous chemical incident.
If OpenAI feeds their staff lunch that's gone off and everybody gets sick, is that really an AI incident?
No, I don't think those things are similar at all to what I suggested. I would not add those things to the list.
Is the AI making the menu?

But the chemical in this analogy is the AI.
AI didn't get accidentally or wrongfully or damagingly applied to anyone. The thing that leaked was not AI.
So it's like having hazardous chemicals around, but the bad seal wasn't on a container that had hazardous chemicals in it.
